Introduction to Titanium

Titanium parts banner

Titanium has a number of material properties that make it the ideal metal for demanding applications. These properties include excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals and extreme temperatures. The metal also has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

 

All of these properties, as well as its high tensile strength, have led to titanium’s broad adoption in the aerospace, medical and defense industries.

Surface Finishes for Your Choosing

Name Description Materials Color Texture Link
P02 2 S07 Anodizing 1 Anodizing Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhances wear resistance and hardness, and protects the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, automobile parts, precision instruments, etc. All materials Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold. Smooth, matte finish. Learn more
P02 2 S07 Powder coating 1 Powder Coating Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. Aluminum
